The experimental elicitation of motion sickness using a short arm centrifuge or a rotating chair surrounded by a striped cylindrical enclosure failed to reveal any systematic group or consistent individual relationship between changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature and the appearance of symptoms of motion sickness. A study of the influence of vision on susceptability to motion sickness during sudden stop simulation shows that having the eyes open during any part of the sudden stop assessment is more stressful than having them closed throughout the test. Subjects were found to be highly susceptible to motion sickness when tested in free fall and in high force phases of flight. The effect of touch and pressure cues on body orientation during rotation and in parabolic flight are considered as sensory as well as motor adaptation.
